I’ve given a great deal of thought to this piece over the past weeks and have come to realise that what I am feeling is more than just the outrage at the lack of understanding from so many for the plight of a young girl who was assaulted and found no justice due to the level…
I’d like to tell you about one of the strongest women I’ve ever met in my entire life and what she means to me. I’ve fought with her, cried with her, leaned on her, derided her, ignored her, envied her and loved her more than any other human being on this planet. She’s seen me…
Since I was a young girl I believed I lived in a world where my gender made no difference whatsoever. I was raised to see myself as a person whose worth was measured by my deeds, my achievements and my failures. As I grew older I continued to see the world through this lens. As…
It’s been a little while since I’ve just done a quick thought for the day. Sadly I do have a lot more that I wish to write about but as I’ve been down with the Flu [yes again – nasty thing just won’t quit] I have to make this one quick due to the need…
